Changing table or no??

Are yall still changing your baby’s on a changing table? Mine is almost 4 months old and starting to use her legs to push off and slide backwards. If we don’t watch carefully she can essentially kick herself off the table😅. But like what do I do now? Usually I change her diaper then go wash my hands then come back and get her dressed but realizing that I shouldn’t leave her side anymore (she doesn’t roll quite yet). What are yall doing? What is the next transition? (The changing table is on our dresser FYI).

It the nicest way ever. Changing tables are a waste of money. You'll change the baby any and everywhere. Our 1st baby we got one but it was a dresser as well. The changing part got turned into a little diaper storage spot

I haven't used a changing table at all 🙈 i change her on the couch, the bed wherever i am haha my husband uses a little changing pad from a diaper bag when he changes her but I rarely do. I just slide the clean diaper underneath her before I remove the dirty one.

Not necessary

I have a changing pad on top of my dresser as well and I do still use it, but I don’t leave his side. I would recommend maybe putting some hand sanitizer there so you don’t have to leave or after you change his diaper move him to a different location to go wash your hands.

Gestational Diabetes Tips?

Just got diagnosed early - 18 weeks 😩

Looking for your go to lunches & dinners, snacks, & sweet treats! My doctor doesn’t want me going keto so suggested making substitutions for whole grain pasta/bread/etc. Any tips welcome!

I have such a big sweet tooth, especially during pregnancy.

Can anyone relate?

I am 35 weeks 3 days. When I wake up in the night, I have bad pelvic girdle pain and lower abdomen pain. I find when I walk round it settles. Does anyone else have this?

🎂 How Are You Celebrating Your Little One’s 1st Birthday?

Mamas, I’d love to hear how you’re planning to celebrate your little one’s first birthday! 🥹🎈

I’m starting to think about my baby’s 1st birthday and would love some ideas whether you’re planning a big party, a small gathering, a cute little outing, a cake smash, or something totally different!

Also, if you’re in the Westwood area and your little one is turning 1 around the same time, maybe we can celebrate together! 🎉 It could be so fun for the babies to have a little first-birthday celebration together and for us moms to meet too. 💕

39 weeks induction or c section

Anyone who has experience in being advised to have baby by 39 weeks (GD in my case) how did you go about making your decision and how did you feel about your decision?!

Am I the only person that hasn't got a birth plan?

I'm 35 weeks and I had my midwife appointment yesterday and she discussed if I had a birth plan yet? I said no just going with the flow...

My baby boy was finally born! 09/28/26

I'm so happy that my son is finally here at 40 weeks and 4 days. His name is Aiden 💙💚 I almost had him at home! I felt his water sac coming out of me and we had to rush to the hospital. Little did I know I was already 8 cm when I got checked in. When it was time to push it only took 6 pushes! I'm soo in love and happy ☺️

Anyone else have a crazy birth story?
